SFMOMA PRESENTS CINDY SHERMAN
The Most Comprehensive U.S. Exhibition of the Groundbreaking Artist in Nearly 15 Years
Exhibition dates: July 14 - October 08, 2012

SFMOMA - Press Release:

From July 14 to October 8, 2012, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will host the sole West Coast presentation of Cindy Sherman, a traveling retrospective of one of the most significant contemporary artists and arguably the most influential one working exclusively with photography. Known for photographing herself in a range of guises and personas that are by turns amusing and disturbing, distasteful and affecting, Sherman has built an international reputation for an extraordinary body of work. Tracing her career from the mid-1970s to present, the exhibition is the first major U.S. retrospective of the artist in nearly 15 years, introducing Sherman to a new generation of audiences.

Organized by Eva Respini of The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA), Cindy Sherman brings together more than 150 photographs from both public and private collections, including key works from SFMOMA's own holdings. The presentation at SFMOMA is overseen by Erin O'Toole, assistant curator of photography, and is the first major exhibition of Sherman's work ever mounted in San Francisco.
